Whether you’re on a corporate or tourist visit, getting a car rental at Bruxelles-National Airport (BRU) is the best option. You can easily traverse different parts of the Belgian capital that can’t be accessed fully by public transportation options. Renting a car lets you beat Brussels traffic because you can opt for alternative routes. You’ll also save time by avoiding unnecessary stops, which is common when using public transport.

Picking up your car when you get a car rental at Bruxelles-National Airport is quite effortless. BRU has multiple rental companies with on-site desks. All car rental desks at the airport are located in the Arrivals section. Walk straight to your preferred company’s rental desk and present the required documents.

Had heard negative reviews, but have to say this was one of the most efficient car rental experiences we have had. The car was exactly what we reserved and the counters on each end very quick and easy.

The rental rate was much too expensive, but there was a train strike, so we had no choice but to rent a car. We were charged 55 euros for gas when we’d only used one bar on the fill line. There are no gas stations prior to the drop off location at the airport. None. There is a BP on the other side of the road, but the signage is very poor at the airport & we couldn’t get to the gas station or try harder because the passport control line was an hour & half long at the airport & we had no choice. 55 euros for such a small amount of gas is absolutely ridiculous considering the situation at this airport.

We had to catch a flight from Florence at 6:30 am but the drop off office didn’t open until 8 am. We dropped the car at the short term lot at the airport. Their local number didn’t work so I finally got in touch with customer service in Europe and they couldn’t contCt the airport rental office either. Overall, great car but drop off service was not great.

The staff were really friendly. The only red flag for them is that they tried to include always more extra things (insurance and extra coverage), even they changed my reservation and added me an extra day when i didn´t want that.

On the website I booked a good rate but that excluded a lot of compulsory extra charges. so ended up paying €200 more, which was surprising and really misleading.

The pick-up/drop-off process is seamless and worry free. I just found the price of a GPS quite high. I also got a notice that one of the front tires was deflated just as I got on the highway after leaving the airport. However, inflating tires is free in Belgium and it was only a momentary issue.
